FortiGate 7000E and FortiOS Carrier

To run FortiOS Carrier for FortiGate 7000E you must purchase a FortiOS Carrier license from Fortinet. A single FortiOS Carrier license is required for a FortiGate 7000E chassis. You apply the FortiOS Carrier license from the primary FIM CLI and the license is copied to the secondary FIM and to the FPMs.

Once you have a license key, you should upgrade your FortiGate 7000E chassis to the FortiOS software version that you want to be running and then use the following command from the primary FIM CLI to license your chassis for FortiOS Carrier:

execute forticarrier-license <license-key>

The FortiGate 7000E restarts and is set to the FortiOS Carrier factory default configuration. You can configure and operate a FortiGate 7000E running FortiOS Carrier just like a normal FortiGate 7000E. For example, you can upgrade the firmware by downloading and installing a new FortiOS firmware version or through FortiGuard. You do not have to re-license your FortiGate for FortiOS Carrier after installing new FortiOS firmware.
